There is no other means to safeguard a propitious development of human affairs than to make the masses of inferior people adopt the ideas of the elite. This has to be achieved by convincing them. It cannot be accomplished by a despotic regime that instead of enlightening the masses beats them into submission. In the long run the ideas of the majority, however detrimental they may be, will carry on. The future of mankind depends on the ability of the elite to influence public opinion in the right direction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hair she means to have is gold, Her eyes are blue, she's twelve weeks old,  Plump are her ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3640]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hair she means to have is gold, Her eyes are blue, she's twelve weeks old,  Plump are her fists and pinky.   She fluttered down in lucky hour    From some blue deep in yon sky bower--     I call her "Little Dinky."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3640</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The person interested in success has to learn to view failure as a healthy, inevitable part of the process of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53375]]></link><description><![CDATA[The person interested in success has to learn to view failure as a healthy, inevitable part of the process of getting to the top.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53375</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man's greatness lies in his power of thought. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18245]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man's greatness lies in his power of thought.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Rainbows apologize for angry skies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43885]]></link><description><![CDATA[Rainbows apologize for angry skies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43885</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happy the man when he has not the defects of his qualities. [Fr., Heureux l'homme quand il n'a pas les ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15452]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happy the man when he has not the defects of his qualities. [Fr., Heureux l'homme quand il n'a pas les defauts de ses qualites.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is conceived well is expressed clearly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/995]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is conceived well is expressed clearly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/995</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lo! where the rosy bosom'd Hours Fair Venus' train appear,  Disclose the long-expecting flowers,   And wake the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57790]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lo! where the rosy bosom'd Hours Fair Venus' train appear,  Disclose the long-expecting flowers,   And wake the purple year.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57790</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In judging others a man laboureth in vain; he often erreth, and easily falleth into sin; but in judging and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7660]]></link><description><![CDATA[In judging others a man laboureth in vain; he often erreth, and easily falleth into sin; but in judging and examining himself he always laboureth to good purpose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7660</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We thought that by selling, we would have much more capital available to us to grow faster, and we thought ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42116]]></link><description><![CDATA[We thought that by selling, we would have much more capital available to us to grow faster, and we thought ultimately the company would be much more stable financially.
